Conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, who was rushed to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center where he was pronounced dead early Thursday morning, had a history of heart problems, the Associated Press reported. The nature of the previous heart condition was reportedly diagnosed last year, but whether it contributed to his death is unknown. Larry Dietz, watch commander at the Los Angeles County coroner’s office, said an autopsy would likely be conducted.
